FUSION BONDED EPOXY COATING PROCESS

Epoxy Coated Tanks

Operating from a purpose built state of the art manufacturing plant, the company utilises both CNC punch and laser cutting equipment in its semi-automated production line.

All raw materials are quality checked on arrival before moving into the production phase. Black steel panels are lasered or punched, depending on their thickness, prior to being shot‐blasted to SA2.5/SSPC10 near white finish. After shot‐blasting the sheets are automatically transferred to the paint line via vertical rollers if necessary. At point of transfer the panels are automatically weighed as a final quality check on material thickness before being coated.

Following the coating process, the panels undergo three separate quality checks to confirm the external panel colour, internal coating thickness (micrometer) and internal coating integrity (high voltage holiday test). Balmoral operates a zero defect policy with every defective panel being rejected.

Once the final inspection has taken place the finished sheets are packed onto heat treated pallets or crates for transportation.

During panel production, tank components, including nuts, bolts, washers, sealants, etc, are packaged according to the bill of material, whilst fabricated items are procured, produced, quality checked and palletised for transport.
